As I've been saying, the FP thing has never been that big of a deal. Did things before that way. Was an added convenience to get past those levels on alts so we can get to where the real action is (level 90), but it not that big of a deal either way.

I just hate the incivility towards those that did like things like that and are expressing that they are sad to see it go. They might be willing to compromise or whatever, but when any amount of objection to the change is met with "learn2play casual noob" or e-peen flexing, it just gets useless to bother to try to say what experience in the game you have or that you're willing to meet halfway and give them a good suggestion to let them have their cake and eat it to.

No in between for them. It's either have everything or nothing. It's either hardcore elitist or noobie casual.

Personally, I wouldn't mind the FP discoveries being account wide, but I fear that even THAT suggestion would lead to an elitist war about how I should just deal with things the way THEY want it.

I don't like the Blacksmithing changes, because it dumbs down another aspect of the game. Farming old ore was easy anyway

Usually players use "dumbing down" to mean less skill required not less time commitment.

Holy shit, I think I read something from GC that finally made a TON of sense. In fact, that about sums up the entire argument. Way to shut that entire strawman argument down, GC. Seriously, proud of that.

Really? If it is such a chore and and so time consuming to play the game, then why play at all?
I swear i will never understand why so many people want the game to play it for them, to automatically get flight points, to automatically finish quests or be sent to each objective directly, to get the right loot on every drop. Its not a game if it does it all for you.

They said from the very begining it was an unintended bug and they were working on it. You wern't meant to have it in the first place. You dealt with it up until this bug happened and now its a big issue that they fix it? Bleh..

Except the real world doesn't have a mission to make you a traveller. Blizzard's mission with MoP is to get people out in the world more and they want you to roam and discover first.

noone is gonna roam around during leveling, if its extremely incovenient to get from org to feralas, if you leveled through dungeons. if anything, people will sit in org MORE and que for dung MORE, not less.

bug, that has been in game for several years before they could fix it? sure, Ill buy that.

but you dont realize the impact that its going to have on leveling, especially the 1-70, which is very quick, but you dont have quick mount. If you dont have FPs, most people are just gonna que for dung, instead of running halfway across the world on foot/on slow flyier. If they actually wanted to bring people into the world for leveling, they should have brought back the original idea of discovering dungeons before you can que for them.
